So I be looking at around £80 for a set. Bit too pricey for just my sockets. Rather buy another tool! Thanks for the information though.

I prefer the Lisle magnetic trays though cannot find them for a reasonable price here in the UK

Managed to finish my restoration. Ground the rust off. Sanded it down, primed it with zinc primer and finished it off with Hammerite smooth blue. Looks a bit too bright of a blue but that's just the exposure on my phones camera. All metal work that was removable was put in solution of...

Many thanks. I will take your advice and post a thread once I have completed the refebishment.

Anyone know the best way to disassemble a record 112 for painting and refebishment? Not took one apart with a clutch and don't want to jump into it in case there is something I should be aware of. Cheers.

Thanks. I'll also look out for the Hammerite. Question before also choosing would be a spray or a brush application.

Yeah we have Rustoleum over here but limited in supply/stockists. http://search.diy.com/search#?p=Q&srid=S8-UKSR01&lbc=diy&ts=ajax&w=Rustoleum&uid=469202542&method=and&isort=score&view=grid&srt=12 Have no true blue, closest appears deep blue. I will visit the store after I have cleaned it...

Thanks for the suggestion. I like records and was looking out for one for a little while. Not sure how I did on price but happy with my purchase. All the old vices I see seem to be records so they must make 'em good!

Picked this up for £20 (which is around $30) . It's a Record 112. Going to clean it up and see what it's like. Might decide then to clean it up and repaint it. If so, does anyone know any paint that is a close match?

I would 'snap' these up in a second. But I live in the UK so cannot unfortunately :-(

Big head scratch. I asked for one to recommend or name and they just signposted me to a local hardware store. Bit disappointed with their response to be honest.

Haha. So did you mix the products for 6 minutes then? You may be correct but when I emailed them they also referred back to the 'petroleum based lubricant'... Guess their email team are also from the east.

Sounds like it's superlube that my tool chest came with then. I am from England and it's around $30-35 for 85g over here!! Appears that it's not sold directly over here and it's only stocked by a few retailers who are obviously selling it at a nice premium.

Never heard of that before. Just read up on it and it sounds like it would be a good for my bike! What's on now is a slightly tacky clear lubricant. Almost gel like in consistency.

Haha. Still doesn't sound like fun!
